Coding rounds feel like competitive programming finals.

Same syllabus.
Same university exams.
Same 75% attendance torture.
Different universe.
India doesn’t have one placement system.
It has parallel economies running on the same degree.
Yesterday night I went to Terminal 3 to drop a friend who got a job in a Middle Eastern country.
His flight was from T3, and I saw so many families there… parents, wives, kids… all saying goodbye to their sons, husbands, fathers, leaving for work and a better life.
Everyone was holding back tears, yet tears were flowing anyway.
One moment broke me completely.
A little girl around 4 years old, holding the hand of her younger brother, maybe 1.5 years old, both crying as their father walked towards the departure gate.
Their mother was trying to stay strong, but her voice was shaking.
And the father…
We think fathers are the strongest.
But when the family stepped away towards the cab, he stood alone near a pillar…
crying quietly, his shoulders shaking, wiping tears quickly so no one sees.
That sight… I couldn’t hold my tears.
Family is everything.
And yet, so many have to leave the most precious part of their life behind just to earn, just to provide, just to survive.
Yes, they leave for a better future.
Yes, it is for good.
But the weight of that goodbye… only the heart understands.
To every person who has ever left their home to build a life
May your journey be safe, your heart stay strong, and may you return to the warmest embrace waiting for you.
Family is love.
Family is life.
I have always believed that whatever our scriptures tell us whether through stories, symbols or divine characters it also has a deep connection with our own body, mind and soul. The Ramayana is not just an epic happening outside in some distant time it is also the journey of our soul within. Each character, each battle and each victory mirrors the struggles and triumphs of our inner world.... Our Soul Journey...
Dussehra is often celebrated as the victory of Shri Ram over the Ravan. But if we pause for a moment and look deeper we realize that this battle is not just a story from the past it is the eternal war that takes place within each one of us. The battlefield of Lanka exists inside the human heart. Shri Ram is not merely an external hero he is the radiant soul within us. Ravan is not just a demon with ten heads he is the ever arising ego with its many faces of pride, anger, greed, lust, jealousy and delusion.
Think of an image in which you see Shri Ram stands tall, bow in hand, aiming his arrow towards Ravan. Here the arrow represents sadhana our consistent spiritual practice, whether it is meditation, mantra or self-discipline. Without sadhana the soul remains powerless against the giant of ego. Just as Ram’s arrow was the only weapon that could pierce Ravan’s body .... only our sadhana has the strength to cut through the deep rooted layers of ego within us.
And then there is Hanumanji ... the surrender mind. A mind filled with devotion, humility and surrender becomes the bridge between the soul and its purpose. Without Hanumanji Ramji could never have reached Lanka. Similarly without devotion, our soul cannot reach the battlefield where ego resides. A restless or doubtful mind only fuels the ego, but a devoted mind, anchored in faith, becomes the greatest ally of the soul.
When Shri Ram kills Ravan it is not merely a story of a king defeating a demon but it is the moment when the soul, armed with devotion and strengthened by sadhana "conquers the ego"
And this is the real victory Vijaya Dashami the victory of the higher self over the lower self. It reminds us that the greatest war is not fought outside but within and the greatest victory is not over others but over ourselves.
So when we celebrate Dussehra by burning the effigy of Ravan let us not just look at the flames rising in the sky. Let us turn inward and ask ... what ego within me needs to be burned today? What arrow of sadhana must I release? Can my mind, like Hanumanji stay devoted enough to serve my soul? For every time we win this inner battle, we celebrate a true Dussehra a festival that happens not once a year but every single day we choose the soul over ego.
Shubh Vijayadashami to all❤️
